Figure Legend Snippet: Loss of PAS1 Ccnb1 variant causes a delay in meiotic resumption. ( A ) Timing of GVBD in cultured denuded oocytes from WT and ΔPAS1 mutant mice. Oocytes were isolated as described in the Methods and timing of GVBD was scored by time-lapse microscopy after release from cilostamide block. Fifteen biological replicates for WT and six for the ΔPAS1 were included. Data were analyzed with non-parametric Mann–Whitney test and the calculated FDR was reported for each time point (* FDR ≤ 0.05; ** FDR ≤ 0.01; *** FDR ≤ 0.001). A four-parameter logistic equation was used to calculate the time when 50% of oocytes had undergone GVBD (Time 50% : WT = 76.4 min, 95% confidence limit: 74.1–78.8; ΔPAS1 mutant = 107.4 min, 95% confidence limit: 96.2–120.1) as well as the slope of the curves (Hill coefficient: WT = 5.26, mutant = 3.99). ( B ) Timing of GVBD of individual oocytes from WT and ΔPAS1 mutant determined by time-lapse microscopy. Each point corresponded to one oocyte and the median of all determination was included. Statistical significance was calculated using unpaired t -test (**** P ≤ 0.0001). ( C ) Rescue of the PAS1 GVBD timing in ΔPAS1 oocytes. Denuded oocytes were microinjected with either vehicle (WT) or mRNA where the Ccnb1 ORF is fused to the intact PAS1 3′UTR ( Ccnb1 -PAS1 injected in ΔPAS1). The time when 50% of oocytes had undergone GVBD (Time 50% ) was comparable in the two groups (WT = 81.98 min; PAS1 rescue = 73.79). The two curves were not statistically different when using a Mann–Whitney test. ( D ) Representative immunoblots of Cyclin B1 and Cyclin B2 levels in lysates of GV oocytes from WT and ΔPAS1 mutant mice (150 oocytes/lane). DDB1 was used as a loading control. ( E , F ) Quantification of (D), relative protein levels of Cyclin B1 and Cyclin B2 in GV oocytes from WT and PAS1 mutant. Three biological replicates were included. Statistical significance was assessed using unpaired t -test (**** P ≤ 0.0001, ns, not significant).

Figure Legend Snippet: Loss of PAS1 Ccnb1 variant does not affect mouse oocyte progression to MII. ( A ) Time-lapse microscopy analysis of timing of the first polar body extrusion in WT and PAS1 mutant oocytes after release from cilostamide block. Experiments were repeated 6 times with oocytes retrieved from at least 1 mouse/experiment. The two curves were not statistically different when using a Mann–Whitney test. Time 50% : WT = 11.0 min, 95% confidence limit: 10.88–11.20; ΔPAS1 = 12.48 min, 95% confidence limit:12.23–12.75. ( B ) Violin plot of the duration of the first meiotic division in WT and ΔPAS1 oocytes. The duration of the first meiotic division was calculated by subtracting the time of GVBD from the time of PB1 extrusion. Statistical significance was assessed using Mann–Whitney test (ns, not significant). Number of oocytes used for the measurements: WT n = 286, ΔPAS1 n = 143. ( C ) Representative immunoblot images of Cyclin B1 and pERK1/2 protein levels in metaphase II oocyte lysates from WT and ΔPAS1 mutant (50 oocytes/lane). DDB1 was used as a loading control. ( D ) Quantifications of relative protein expression levels of Cyclin B1 (left) and pERK1/2 (right) in metaphase II oocytes of WT and ΔPAS1 from four biological replicates. Statistical significance was calculated using unpaired t -test (ns, not significant).

Figure Legend Snippet: Loss of PAS3 in the Ccnb1 3′ UTR leads to premature meiotic re-entry. ( A ) Time-lapse analysis of the timing of GVBD in WT and ΔPAS3 mutant oocytes after release from cilostamide block. Sixteen biological replicates for WT and five for the ΔPAS3 were included. Data were analyzed with non-parametric Mann–Whitney test and the calculated FDR was reported for each time point (*FDR ≤ 0.05; **FDR ≤ 0.01; ***FDR ≤ 0.001). A four-parameter logistic equation was used to calculate the time when 50% of oocytes had undergone GVBD (Time 50% : WT = 76.06 min, 95% confidence limit: 72.6–79.6; ΔPAS3 = 50.20 min, 95% confidence limit: 47.92–52.63) as well as the slope of the curves (Hill coefficient: WT = 3.4, mutant = 7.8). ( B ) Representative immunoblot showing expression levels of Cyclin B1 and Cyclin B2 in WT and ΔPAS3 GV-stage oocyte lysates (150 oocytes/lane). DDB1 was used as a loading control. Quantifications of relative protein expression levels of Cyclin B1 (left) and Cyclin B2 (right) in GV-arrested oocytes from WT and ΔPAS3 mice from three biological replicates. Statistical significance was assessed using unpaired t-test (*** P ≤ 0.001, ns, not significant). ( C ) Overexpression of the intact Ccnb1 PAS1 short variant in WT oocytes causes premature meiotic cell cycle re-entry. WT oocytes were injected with an mRNA coding for PAS1 Ccnb1 short variant or a vehicle as a control. Timing of GVBD was assessed by time-lapse microscopy. Statistical significance was assessed using Mann–Whitney test (*** P ≤ 0.001, * P ≤ 0.05). A four-parameter logistic equation was used to calculate the time when 50% of oocytes had undergone GVBD (Time 50% : WT + vehicle: 77.68 min, 95% confidence limit: 74.32–81.14; WT + Ccnb1 short: 57.38 min), as well as the slope of the curves (Hill coefficient: WT + vehicle: 4.0, WT + Ccnb1 short: 10). ( D ) Representative immunoblot showing the CDK1 activity in WT and ΔPAS3 oocytes 1 h after release from the cilostamide block (20 oocytes/lane). CDK1 activity was measured by phosphorylation level of the CDK1 substrate PP1 as detailed in the Materials and methods. Quantification of CDK1 activity levels between WT and PAS3 mutant from three biological replicates. Statistical significance was assessed using unpaired t -test (**** P ≤ 0.0001).
